I look forward to seeing your new creations! I sew. I use a sewing machine and I finally got a serger. I consider my work hand made even though I use a machine. A lathe is a tool just like a sewing machine. You are still creating by hand. Unless you plan on opening a factory where every piece is identical....I don't thunk you need to worry about it!

BEADS & DREAD DECORATIONS
General Questions
I would like to see a photo of what you think is splitting. I often have baby dreads form that the hair will go into strange shapes as it is starting to knot up. Sometimes it looks like it is spreading out but then it forms a crazy ball. The dread changes shape a whole lot during the process.
Are no loops normal??

They may still loop up. 4 months is still at the baby stage...they have not even gotten to the crazy teen stage yet.

I have bought things off of ebay but ETSY is where I shop! You can find wonderful things from artists all over the world. I found my hair pin on there. I am sure you can find gauges that you would love on there too !!
Reintroduction, since I haven't been around in long while.

I bet you end up with a head full and not just 3. Dreads are addictive.
